Take Charge Lady - One of the leading fillies of her generation, TCL won 11 of her 22 races and earned over $2.4 million. Dam of Grade 1 winners Take Charge Indy, Take Charge Brandi and 3-year-old Champion Will Take Charge.

Take Charge Lady isn't the dam of 'Brandi...she's her granddam, with TCB being out of 'Lady's daughter, Charming.
I wonder who made that goof? It misrepresents the provenance of that halter, which might bother the person bidding on it.

I think that's a common misconception, I've seen Blood-Horse make that same mistake. I sent an email to Sylvia, hopefully they'll correct it when they make the eBay postings later today (the auctions aren't live yet).
